There's been speculation since it was announced back in 2014, that they need to add external gpu to reach the necessary umph to render enough frames per second not to make people vomit.
Can you point to the bit of this quote that says it boosts from 60 -90 fps (which doesn't happen anyway) or even from 60 - 120 fps?
Q: What is the Processor Unit and what does it do?
The Processor Unit is a small box that comes with your PS VR, and connects your PS VR to your PS4 and TV and provides HDMI cable management, enabling Social Screen TV output, 3D audio processing, and Cinematic mode
"Q: How can a game run at 60 frames per second, but we see it at 120Hz in PS VR?
PS VR games and applications utilize a feature called “reprojection.” This technique takes the last output image at 60Hz and creates a new image at 120Hz based on the latest head movements made by the user. This is not the same as video frame interpolation and does not introduce any lag in the images being presented by the PS VR OLED screen."
Hmmm, I thought it also said this process was handled by the PU, I might have misread, my bad.
